Trial report in Journal of cystic fibrosis : official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02781610 (Standardized Treatment of Pulmonary Exacerbations II), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

backgroundC-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a biomarker for pulmonary exacerbation (PEx) diagnosis and treatment response. CRP >75mg/L has been associated with increased risk of PEx treatment failure. We have analyzed CRP measures as biomarkers for clinical response during the STOP2 PEx study (NCT02781610).

methodsCRP measures were collected at antimicrobial treatment start (V1), seven to 10 days later (V2), and two weeks after treatment end (V3). V1 log

resultsIn all, 951 of 982 STOP2 subjects (92.7%) had CRP measures at V1. V1 log DISCUSSION: Despite consistent trends, log
